Brendan Eich: The TRUE History Of The Javascript Programming Language

JavaScript is one of the most popular languages today. According to a Stack Overflow developer survey in 2020, the language is used by close to 70% of developers. It powers the world wide web and is one of the easiest languages to learn for novice programmers. But behind these colorful figures, what is the backstory of JavaScript? In today’s video, we’re going to discuss the history of JavaScript since its emergence in 1995 till date.

Javascript has reached a point of maturity. Yet, it's not going away anytime soon

[@BallyBoy95]

Gotta friend that LOVES Javascript and hates Python (which is what I love btw), so this was quite the insightful watch. How has this golden nugget only got 2.6k views?

[@bernardobuffa2391]

in fact java and javascript were for some time interoperable... you could have a java applet running in a page and invoke its methods through javascript.

We love javascript

[@cmspeedrunner3733]

no we do not. In javascript this will output "200"
console.log("500"-"300")
javascript is fucked

[@geekdesprairies]

@@cmspeedrunner3733Like any sane developer would write that kind of code every other day.
I've been developing in JS for 15 years now and never (not even once) stumbled into such quirks in *actual* code.
I don't mean to say that things are perfect, but arguments like "meh, [] + {} doesn't do the same as {} + []" is a complete fallacy.
